Death — something to talk about
ALIVE AGAIN.
After a pandemic hiatus, The 100% Certainty Project is back! We are excited to announce our book selections for 2022/23 – a great line-up of books to unveil the curtain on death.
Talking about death won’t kill you — but sometimes it can be frightening or awkward. The 100% Certainty Project promotes books to read and talk about, which will help to get conversations started about what’s important to you when you face what is inevitable.
Read. Reflect. Talk about books.
Talk about death. Live your fullest life.
